Abstract

Banco da Amazônia S.A. (BASA) was created in 1942 to meet the demand for rubber in the World War II and nowadays it is the main development agent in northern region of Brazil. Over the years, it has expanded from a single product to an inducer of socioeconomic development, by diversifying the Amazon’s productive base in a sustainable way.  This article intends to show the role of BASA as a financial agent, its main practices and the impact of its financing to promote the development of the Amazon region. To achieve this objective, data were extracted from the FNO's (acronym for North Constitutional Regional Fund) Financing Program Application Plan for the year 2022;  Detailed Report on the activities developed and the results obtained for the year 2020; Results and Impacts Report for the year 2021; and Integrated Annual and Sustainability Report for the year 2021." In addition to financing regional production activities, the Bank aims to raise the awareness of agents in the productive sectors of the Amazon region, by showing that investing in ecologically sustainable items and cleaner production processes is no longer a luxury, but inherent to business in order to preserve the environment while increase its profits. By reducing negative impacts on the planet, companies create new markets and add value to their brand and products.
